We have some back from winter vacation of two weeks now and I was planning to update you on my trip. For my vacation I went to Brazil, more specifically Rio and Iguaçu Falls, unfortunately Rio was rainy the whole time we were there, cloudy skies and beaches just don’t match up to well don’t you think? However, the weather in Iguacu Falls made up all the bad days in Rio, clear skies and a blazing sun ALL day long. This trip was my first ever to a country which spoke a language I did not making it a different experience. It was different to be in a place where you could not communicate, using your hands and facial expressions to simply ask for an empanada at a bakery; to top it all off my dad was convinced he could communicate so he read out loud every portuguese sign we saw simply to embarrass my sister and I.
Iguacu Falls were amazing! Never had I seen so many waterfalls in one place, the vegetation and scenery of the entire area was beautiful indeed. We decided to go under the water falls… twice; once in the Brazilian side and once on the Argentinean (I Honestly Preferred the Brazilian Better). On our flight back home I had the luck of being sick, and trust me it is the most terrible feeling in the world to be on a plane for 6 hours with a plugged nose and terrible stomach ache. Overall, the one con to the trip in my opinion was that retched flight to Caracas.
